"Up to" $30,000.
"Up to."
"For the 300 hours you devoted to finding this exploit, and considering your 25 years of coding experience, Microsoft is prepared to pay you... Well, let's see, how about $1,000? That seems fair to us."

I’d have to load Edge in order to find the bugs in it, which is kinda like having to get the clap in order to prove a woman is a hooker.

That’s a crazy low amount, even if they expect 10-year-olds to find the bugs.

What are the bad guys paying for zero-day exploits these days?

‘UP TO’ SOUNDS LIKE MICROSOFT IS TRYING TO GET THEIR BUGS WORKED OUT/FIXED ON THE CHEAP BY OFFERING A BOUNTY SO THEY DON’T HAVE TO PAY THEIR CODERS THE BIG $$

Only $30k to fix code written by their sh!tty H-1B and outsourced programmers? This tells you they know the code is a disaster.

Just hang out and wait for the first update download and it should be easy. They always sabotage themselves with their own updates. lol

What the hell is “Chromium Edge”???
Does it have anything to do with Gooogle Chrome?

Had some serious side-effects from Windows 10 update 1903 that am still flushing out. But Microsoft Windows isn’t a serious operating system any more, and am skeptical of anything called “Chromium Edge”.

How are you supposed to forensically examine closed source code when the owner won’t give you access to the code?
To: dayglored
I already found a bug. I installed it on my Windows 7 pc and opened it. It says to close it as it is in administrative mode then open in non administrator mode. It never does. Just the same screen over and over again. Where do I collect the money?

I’m a Windows fan, but, really, who uses any MS browser?
